Truro College's football team are just 90 minutes away from winning the British Colleges Football League.

The side have reached the final of the competition after beating Derby College 4-0 in the semi-finals.

Truro will now meet Huntingdon College from Cambridge in the final which takes place in Doncaster next Tuesday.

Mike Vanes, football development boss at Truro College, told BBC Cornwall: "It's an exceptional achievement and we're really proud of the boys."

The final is set to be held at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium, giving the youngsters a taste of professional football.

Truro's Darren Edwards said: "I'm pretty excited to be honest, we've had a good season and not lost many games.

"I think everyone's pretty excited just to be playing at Doncaster."

And for first year Truro student Billy Curtis, the competition has been a great learning process.

Curtis said: "Playing with good players and playing at a high standard with other good players has been really good for everyone's development."
